Tommywommy, never fear, no nerves, you will find paradise at CN. Yes there are some changes and yes there are new faces and you will miss some of the old faces. But it is still CN, Karen is still there and you will feel that sense of calm wash over you when you step off the shuttle. Have fun.

Whatever you do, don't blame your absence (and your adventurous spirit) for any changes you may notice at your beloved Couples Negril! You know it, and everyone here knows it... you will be welcomed back to CN with a smile and more than a few pairs of open arms to offer you your well deserved "hugs".

And as you also know... that swim up bar will be open and the Salty Dogs will be as cold (and putrid) as ever...

I am at CN right now! Yes, the mood is subdued here and the bartenders don't seem to be in groups anymore. They are still very friendly and the guest service seems excellent. We scuba dive and the crew there is the same. The servers we love are still here. We are in paradise! Don't worry about a thing!!!!

hugs!

Tommy --
No fear my friend -- we are here now, and while things are slightly different, the service is still top notch and paradise is still just as wonderful!
Gave a Karen a hug for you just the other day!! Saw Mischa and told him to thank his entire F&B staff for the wonderful eats!!
Missed Ava at the Lounge when we came in - may have been her day off....

Tommy - don't worry. We have been to CN 8 consecutive years. Some years were better than others - always found changes with staff and the resort. I think sometimes it depends on the guests who are there with you as well. Some of our favorite staff members, Robert & Amelia in entertainment, bartenders Steve and Stutton are no longer there but we still have Herbert, Tennyson, Carrie, Marlon, Franklyn, Ivylynn, the catamaran staff, etc.. They've added Lychee which was part of the gym etc. What is the saying? the more things change the more they stay the same? We wouldn't return if we didn't enjoy ourselves. Since we'll be there for #9 April 4-11th, we'll see what we can do to get everyone ready for you and we'll see you at the pool bar 4/10.

Hi Tommy,
I haven't had the joy of meeting you, but I have loved your posts on the message board!!!! I know in my heart that you will have a wonderful time at CN! My husband and I just experienced our first trip to a Couples resort at CSS in February, and we have decided that we will forever be Couples Lifers for now on!

I am curious though---what's in a Salty Dog! I may want to try one when we return to CSS in December!

All the the best, and I'm sure you will have a great trip in April!
